Computer Science Curriculum and Professional Development Grants

The state of Iowa has introduced a program that aids Iowa school districts and accredited nonpublic schools with the cost of providing high-quality computer science materials.

State law is mandating all high schools begin to offer computer science instruction for the 2022 school year and the 2023 school year for middle and elementary schools.

As an approved vendor, this is the perfect opportunity to empower your students to explore opportunities in the technological world, through CoderZ's standards-aligned, scaffolded, and gamified computer science curriculum!
